The US aircraft manufacturer Boeing is preparing for the fact that the demand for commercial aircraft will be significantly lower in the current decade. A real recovery is only expected in the next ten years. The corona pandemic will therefore have a long lasting effect.
In the current outlook, Boeing assumes that between 2020 and 2029, eleven percent fewer passenger and cargo aircraft will be delivered. One reckons with 18.350 machines. According to the manufacturer, it will never be possible to make up for the kink caused by the corona crisis. It is assumed that the demand will be 2039 jets by 43.110, but this forecast has already been revised downwards.
According to Boeing, expansion like in the time "before Corona" is over. In the current decade, customers are more likely to replace older machines with new ones. Fleet expansions are supposed to be the exception. The transport management for 2019 will not reach the aviation industry any longer. The US manufacturer suspects that this could take “at least” five years, and probably even longer.
